The United Kingdom will continue to take steps to finish its moving into the modernized world situation. The armed forces will need to be downsized and the largest step and most painful will be undertaken now. The navies force structure must be realigned to better use new technology and designs and shift over to take advantage of the growth in Commonwealth navies in smaller and medium warship sizes. Though some of this will seem backwards thinking and wrong given the growth of other nations navies, plans are on the drawing board for a large new construction of dreadnoughts and modernization and upgrading of the vessels kept in service.

We will also continue to grow our ties with other nations and work to smooth over tensions with former enemies. Eliminating older and less anti-submarine capable ships will also allow new smaller warships to be built to help stave off any possible submarine threat. To that end we have a treaty with a pair of balkans nations to announce.

British-Balkans Naval Treaty

The United Kingdom will send naval advisers to assist in improving the Tsardom of Bulgaria’s Navy. The Tsardom of Bulgaria will pay the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 50,000,000 pounds (5,000 gold) for the advisers

The United Kingdom will construct 3 new battleships (large ships) for the Tsardom of Bulgaria to be paid for by the Tsardom of Bulgaria.

The United Kingdom will sell 2 large and 6 small warships to establish the Serbian Navy. These will not be newly constructed ships but already built vessels. ((price is 1/4th of construction costs))

Serbia and the UK will also take steps to increase the flow of trade and lower tariffs on key goods.

It is my great pleasure to announce the opening of the Third International Olympic Games in the great city of Chicago! May these games relieve the international tension that cause the Three Emperor's War and remind humanity of our best qualities and our achievements. The ancient games heralded peace between the city states of Greece and were all athletes competed to show their skill and ability. The modern Olympics enraptures the world with the great feats accomplished by the athletes and unites it in common reverence for the spirit of humanity.

May these games herald the start of a new era of sportsmanship and friendly competition and wash away the bitterness of the previous years in which the world was engulfed in war!

Athletes may each of you do your best!

South American Troubles, Caribbean Miracles​

Following the recent economic explosion in the Netherlands, the Government announced that it would begin to hold referendums for the Dutch Colonies in North America. The first to undergo a vote was the island of Curaçao. The option for this was incorporation into the Netherlands as a full province, responsible self-government, or independence. In Willemstad, the Colonial Capitol, thousands of people showed up to vote for the islands future, and it resulted in an overwhelming support of Independence. Willemstad was proclaimed the capitol of the new Republic of Curaçao, and Hans Jansen was proclaimed the President.

The first Government of Curaçao, still flying the old Dutch Flag.​

The Netherlands accepted this course of action, but what they did not expect was when a peaceful vote was underway in Aruba, explosions ripped through the harbour, sinking the Dutch Governor's ship. He ordered the entire island placed under marital law, which did nothing to stop the revolutionary tide that broke out in the island. A rebel government was formed, and much of the Dutch Garrison was murdered. The Free and Imperial Kingdom of Aruba was proclaimed in February of 1906, along the same time that Dutch Guyana had voted for full independence. The Free and Imperial Kingdom of Aruba issued a declaration of War upon Guyana, in an effort to try and expand into weak areas that the Dutch were conceding. With the forced separation of Aruba, parts of the Dutch Navy fell victim to Aruba, and with a simple blockade, Guyana was forced to surrender, and Aruba's borders quickly expanded.

The remainder of the Dutch colonies voted for integration into the Netherlands has provinces, but the threat of Aruba was still on the horizon. The Netherlands refused to intervene in this, as it wished to stay away from the ideals of colonialism, and promptly set up trade with the two new countries, hoping to bolster its already exploding economy.

I would like to announce that the Kingdom of Spain will be sending competitors to the 1906 Summer Olympics. Relations between European and world leaders and nations must be healed, and this is a perfect event to do such a thing.

The Argentine Republic will attend the Olympic Games to be held at the United States of America. May peaceful competition in sport replace the bloodshed the world has seen recently.

Regarding the affair of the former Dutch colonies, we salute and welcome the new Republic of Curaçao to the American concert of nations. Howhever, the actions of the so called Kingdom of Aruba must not be tolerated; if the former colonial power refuses to take action regarding the abrupt invasion of the people of Guyana, who wanted to be free, then it is up to us in the Americas to take action on the matter.

The Empire of Brazil condemns the Kingdom of Aruba for its expansionist policies and forced annexation of Guyana, and i urge other countries to follow suit and condemn the Kingdom of Aruba and speak in favour of an independent Guyana.

Lastly, we ask to participate in the Chicago Olympics.

In return for the right to construct a naval base on Curacao, the United States will protect the young nation. Additionally, in regards to Aruba, if the young nation restores freedom and independence to Guyana, the United States will offer its protection and construct a naval base in Aruba and another in the new nation of Guyana.

To continue the process of spreading some stronger local government as well as responsibility to safeguarding the commonwealth around, the UK is taking another step forward. We are organizing the bulk of the colonial lands in South Africa into another Dominion. ((fry will have it in the pm but basically modern south africa and the newly added German SW colony.)) This step will help the Empire to stay strong and prosperous for many years to come. Success in other lands will be repeated over the as we progress through the program in the next year.

The Dominion of South Africa

As the newly elected Prime Minister of South Africa, I am glad to announce that, together, we will be free to pursue our own interests while at the same time helping to further those of the Empire. We may have come to blows previously, but that is the past. For better or worse, we are now one nation, indivisible. The differences between Britons, Boers, and Germans is negligible. We are all South Africans, united in our efforts to better this quiet, far-off land for our children and their children.

To prove ourselves as a united nation, we would like to send athletes to the Olympics, if the United States will allow it.

God save South Africa, and God save the King.

-Prime Minister Louis Botha​

Also, would anybody mind if I sent an expeditionary army to Guyana and annexed it? I'd like my colonies back
